Dude... give it a rest. With the Argo Network and the Aqua satellites, the Earth is cooling. The hottest periods for the USA all occurred back in the 1920s (see James Hansen's data: Corrected GISS temperature data, August 2007). The Arctic ice is at a record extent. Disko Bay in Greenland froze over for the first time in 30 years, and in California Mount Shasta's glaciers are growing.

Syria reached -22F this winter and Antarctica is 2C below the mean. Do you want to hear about China's recent coldest winter in 100 years?

Oh sure, go ahead and believe facts. I’ll stick with Algore (Nobel Prize winner don’t you know).

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times: Lower temperatures are a classic sign of global warming.

the Earth is cooling.

How does the observation that March 2008 was the second-warmest all time (warmest ever over land) jive with that?

And are you sure about Hansen's data for the 1920s? I thought it was the 1930s.

Actually, it's MORE scary that the Earth temperature drops given that colder temperatures can cause greater crop failures.
